Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

One major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
